The pectoralis major muscle originates from multiple sites, including the clavicle (the medial half), the sternum, and the cartilage of the first six ribs. The pectoralis minor, a smaller muscle beneath the pectoralis major, originates from the third to fifth ribs. Both muscles are involved in movements of the shoulder and upper arm.
